4 inch isn't a volume. It's a diameter.

The silencing ability is determined by the mufflers, not just the pipe size. I've heard some loud 3 inch exhausts, doesn't mean they all are.

Agree, but its a lot easier to find 3 inch *quality* muffler/resonator than in 3.5 inch or 4 inch ( most are just ',race spec'' and barely do sh*t lol). Lets be honest, people who go 4 inch usually don't care too much about sound isn't ?

What about having it 3.5/4inch all the way to the last muffler and having that smaller eg. 3inch/3.5inch? would that be effective seeing how its so far from the turbo or still restrictive?

I was actually thinking about doing a 4 inch dowpipe and using a 3.5 inch cat-back.

At the dyno, I could remove my 3.5 inch cat-back and see how much i gain. this way I would need if it's worth the price of custom.

You're going to all the effort to go to a modern single on you're setup. Give it the best chance that it can by going the biggest exhaust you can. The "small exhaust" on turbo engines has been blasted out of the water and a 3 inch on a 8374 won't do it.

4 inch with the biggest, baddest mufflers you can find. Custom made (which really won't cost you much more than a off the shelf system). Done.

Gotta love forum's influence ! :)

But I have to say that Geoff when he managed to make 700whp with his efr, he had a 3.5 inch with cat. So I'm thinking 3.5 without cat shouldn't that much restrictive.. I mean.. i dont think we can really make 750whp with this turbo on a rb26.

Seems like you already know best.

dyno readouts of cars with exhaust restrictions are the saddest shit ever. takes forever to spool and no power.

even if you can still hit your power goals you'd want to get the thing spooling as early as possible right?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
